Exclusive: AJ Scaramucci comes out of stealth with a $350 million bet on ‘Programmable Reality’

AJ Scaramucci is launching a new venture firm called Solari Capital, which has invested $350 million across early-stage and late-stage ventures. Scaramucci, a former astronomer, developed his investment thesis based on the book Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think by Peter Diamandis. The Programmable Reality thesis posits that computational power is compounding, allowing for biological, intelligence, physical matter, and money to be engineered with software precision.

Solari Capital's portfolio spans four verticals: Programmable Intelligence (AI and foundation models), Programmable Biology (drug discovery and gene therapies), Programmable Matter (space, defense, energy, materials, and robotics), and Programmable Money.
